SUMMARY OF RESULTS
1. This occupational survey of the Aircraft Maintenance specialty identified twenty-two groups of jobs. The largest single group was made up of 46 percent of the survey respondents; most of the members of this group referred to themselves as crew chiefs. The remaining 54 percent of the job incumbents were in a variety of duty positions related to specialized maintenance (i.e., Nonpowered AGE and Wheel and Tire Shop), supervision, and maintenance support (i.e., Technical Order [TO] Library, Tool Crib and Bench Stock and Maintenance Control) and general aircraft maintenance (Phase Dock Inspection, Transient Alert and Repair and Reclamation).
2. In terms of time spent on tasks there are only minimal differences across the AFSC shredouts. However, there are some variations in tasks performed which are dependent more on specific aircraft worked on than shredout. Overall, there are substantial overlaps in tasks performed by aircraft maintenance personnel regardless of shredout.
3. There are only minor differences in tasks performed by 5-sk1ll level aircraft maintenance personnel stationed 1n the CONUS versus those stationed overseas. Most task differences are among personnel with the A shredout; they appear to be assigned to transient alert functions more frequently overseas than in CONUS.
4. Career progression in this specialty 1s similar to that seen in most Air Force specialties. Incumbents spend more time on supervisory tasks and less time en technical tasks as time on active duty increases.
5. The current AFM 39-1 Specialty Descriptions provide good general coverage of the tasks performed by aircraft maintenance personnel. Similarly, the present Specialty Training Standards (STS) adequately detail the task performance requirements of incumbents in the field.
6. Job interest, perceived utilization of talents, and perceived utili- zation of training for first enlistment aircraft maintenance personnel are slightly lower than among a comparison group of first enlistment personnel In other specialties surveyed during CY 1976. Responses from A-shred Incumbents are generally lower than those for personnel in the other three shredouts. For personnel In the specialty with 49 months or more AFMS, job interest, perceived utilization of talents, perceived utilization of training, and reenlistment Intentions are generally higher than for the CY 1976 comparison group. However, this Is not true for A-shred Incumbents with more than 49 months AFMS; responses among these personnel were less positive than for the comparison group.
j
7. Tasks performance data identified some jobs groups to which a disproportionately large percentage of women are assigned. Those jobs are: Technical Order Specialists; Coordinators, Expediters and Schedulers; Tool Crib and Bench Stock Personnel; Documentation and Debriefing Specialists; and Isochronal Inspection Specialists.
8. As found in the 1970 occupational survey of this specialty, task performance data do not support the existing configuration of this career field with four shredouts.

INTRODUCTION
>TMs is a report of an occupational survey of the Aircraft Maintenance Career Ladder, (AFSC's 43131A, 43131C, 43131E, 43131F, 43151A, 43151C, 43151E, 43151F, 43171A, 43171C, 43171E, 43171F and 4319?), conducted by the Occupational Survey Branch, USAF Occupational Measurement Center.
The report describes: (1) development and administration of the survey instrument; (2) summaries of tasks performed by airmen grouped by skill level, experience level, and similarity of tasks performed; (3) comparisons with current career field structure and training documents; and (4) conclusions. v
INVENTORY DEVELOPMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
The data collection instrument for the occupational survey was USAF Job Inventory AFPT 90-431-210. The inventory booklets were composed of two parts: a background information section 1n which job Incumbents provided information about themselves; and a duty-task list section which assessed the relative amount of time spent on tasks performed by personnel In their current jobs. The latter section consisted of 977 tasks grouped under 23 headings. Thorough research of publications and directives, personal interviews with 21 subject-matter specialists from five bases, and written reviews from 69 experienced Aircraft Maintenance personnel contributed to the development of the survey Instrument.
Consolidated base personnel offices in operational units worldwide received the Inventory booklets for administration to job incumbents holding the DAFSC's Identified above. Survey administration occurred from 29 April 1976 through 25 August 1976 based upon the Uniform Airman Record Tables 1 and 2 give distributions of assigned personnel Tn the career ladder as of 28 February 1977 and the percentages by shredout and Major Command of personnel in the survey sample. The sample of 5,824 incumbents represents 14.5 percent of career ladder members.
After supplying Identification and biographical information, incumbents indicated the tasks performed In their current job.
APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE; DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED
Tasks were then rated on a 9-point scale showing relative time spent on each task compared to all other tasks performed in their current job. The ratings ranged from 1 (very-small-amount time spent) through 5 (about-average time spent) to 9 (very-large-amount time spent). Respon- dents did not rate tasks not performed 1n their current job.
In the development of the job inventory, every effort was made to include all duties and tasks of importance to the accuracy and com- pleteness of the survey. However, due to the possibility of inadvertent omissions, instructions for completing the inventory urged respondents to write in any duties or tasks not listed. In this survey, there were a large number of write-in comments. Many of the tasks, duty positions, equipment and forms mentioned appeared to be of limited applicability to this analysis; however, there were some topics about which many write-in comments were received.
The single topic mentioned most in the write-ins from the field was the Maintenance Management Information Control System (MMICS). A sufficiently large number of survey respondents indicated performing MMICS related tasks to indicate that any future surveys of AFS 431XIX should include specific references to that function.
The next most common subject in the write-ins was Dual Rail Systems. While there were some tasks in the job inventory booklet covering cargo ramp systems and loading systems, the number of comments received from the field indicate that more detail about the dual rail tasks would be useful in future surveys.
Another type of duty position and associated tasks mentioned in comments from the field dealt with Aerial Recovery Systems. This set of write-ins was not very large but enough to warrant further elaboration in later surveys.
Lastly, a number of write-ins were received concerning comfort pallets, aircraft latrines and sewage service carts.

CAREER LADDER STRUCTURE
To provide a graphic representation of the various jobs within the Aircraft Maintenance specialty and to show the functional interrelationships, a comprehensive series of computerized task performance comparisons were made among the personnel surveyed in this study. The results are displayed in Figure 1 and listed in Table 3. Both the figure and, table show the different job groupings found among survey respondents.
The groups represent aggregations of job incumbents who perform varying numbers similar tasks and spend like amounts of time on those tasks. For members of a job type group there is a very high degree of commonality in task performance and time spent. Job clusters, on the other hand, contain incumbents in related job type groups for whom there are fewer similarities in time spent and tasks performed. That is, cluster members generally do not have as much overlap in task performance and apportionment of duty time, as is found among members of job type groups. The GRP numbers in Figure 1 and Table 3 are label which are used in the computer analysis to identify groups of incumbents and have no other functions.
Each of the groups in Figure 1 and Table 3 represent a cluster or job type group of survey respondents. The names for each ^ *oup were determined by the tasks performed and the duty position title(s) written down or checked off by the survey respondents in the group. A detailed description of each group Including Information, such as, skill level distribution, major command distribution, average grade, amount of supervision, most time-consuming duties, and representative tasks performed are in Appendix A of this report.

The first division Is composeJ of the two groups to the reader's left 1n Figure 1 which represent Nonpowered AGE Specialists (GRP042) and Wheel and Tire Shop Specialists (GRP081). Job Incumbents In these groups while important to the overall mission of AFS 431X1X Personnel are either not directly working on aircraft or work on only a single aspect of aircraft maintenance.

Specialized Maintenance
As the title Nonpowered AGE Specialists (GRP042) indicates, this group of job incumbents spend most of their time (65 percent) performing tasks related to Maintaining Nonpowered Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE), Duty 0. The members of this group on the average have lower paygrades and lower skill levels than found in the total sample. In addition, job satisfaction, perceived utilization of talents, perceived utilization of training, and reenlistment intentions are substantially lower than for the total survey sample of DAFSC 431XIX personnel.
The major emphasis in job time for survey respondents in the Wheel and Tire Shop Specialists cluster (GRP081) is on tasks dealing with Maintaining Landing Gear Systems, Duty I. Members of this group have a higher average paygrade than the Nonpowered AGE Specialist but still lower than the average for all members of this specialty who were surveyed. Similarly, in comparison to Nonpowered AGE personnel, Viheel and Tire Shop Specialists, have greater job interest, more positive perceptions of the utilization of their talents and training. Expressed intentions to reenlist are about average for the career field.
Supervision and Maintenance Support
The second major division among the clusters and job types in this study contains: Staff Level and Maintenance Support Supervisors (GRP083); Maintenance and Job Controllers (GRP092); Quality Control/Deficiency Analysis and Safety Personnel (GRP067); Coordinators, Expeditors and Schedulers (GRP132); Tool Crib and Bench Stock Personnel (GRP177); 780 Equipment Specialists (GRP062); Training Personnel (GKP043); and Technical Order Specialists (GRP031).
Most of the job incumbents in these eight job clusters are usually not working directly on aircraft but are performing tasks related to supervision, coordination of work performed, maintenance administration, supply, or training. The average paygrades among members of these clusters is higher than for Nonpowered AGE Specialists (GRP042) and Wheel and Tire Shop Specialists (GRP081). However, there are no consistent trends among all the job incumbents in this major division regarding reenlistment intentions, job satisfaction, or perceptions of the utilization of their talents and training.
The Staff Level and Maintenance Support Supervisors cluster (GRP083) contains 12 percent of the AFS 431XIX personnel surveyed. Job incumbents in this group indicate filling a wide variety of supervisory positions, such as. Mobility NCO or NCOIC. Maintenance Superintendent, Wheel and Tire
11
•
Shop NCOIC or ANCOIC, Flight Line Expediter Supervisor, Nonpowered AGE NCOIC, Programs Mobility NCOIC and Tool Crib/Bench Stock NCOIC. Members of this large cluster have the second highest average paygrade, 6.3, of any ^roup of incumbents identified in this section of the report. In addition, job satisfaction and perceptions of the utilization of talents and utilization of training are all high. Reenlistment intentions among cluster members are not as high as would be expected (67 percent will probably or definitely reenUst); this is most likely due to the fact that 31 percent of the group members have more than 240 months AFMS and are eligible to retire.
Job incumbents in the Maintenance and Job Controllers cluster (GRP092) on the average perform only 14 tasks which are all related to Organizing and Planning (Duty A) or Directing and Implementing (Duty B). Although these two duties contain tasks which are supervisory in nature, only 19 percent of the group members report being supervisors. The main thrust of the job of these Incumbents is coordination of work, personnel and facilities. As a group these survey respondents are above average within the specialty in job interest, perceived utilization of talents, perceived utilization of training and expressed reenlistment Intentions. Their average grade is 5.4.
i, *
The Quality Control/Deficiency Analysis and Safety Personnel cluster (GRP067) is a loosely connected group of survey respondents who perform tasks dealt'"] with drafting, editing, or reviewing correspondence, reports, plans or staff studies. The written materials worked on by the group members are staff level products relating to safety, quality control or deficiency analysis. The members of this cluster have the highest level of job interest of any group reported; 94 percent indicate finding their jobs from fairly interesting to extremely interesting. Perceived utilization of talents and training and reenlistment Intentions are all well above average for the specialty. The average grade for cluster members 1s 6.1. Interestingly, only 15 percent of this group of Incumbents directly supervise other personnel
The Coordinators, Expediters, and Schedulers cluster (6RP132) 1s another loosely connected group with supply and coordination of maintenance tasks as the unifying factors. There are two striking char- acteristics of this cluster: first, job interest, perceived utiliza- tion of Clients, perceived utilization of training, and expressed reenlistment intentions are considerably below averaqe; and second there is a disproportionately large number of women (18 percent) in this cluster. Only 12 percent of the group mem'iers directly supervise personnel. Members have a mean paygrade of 4.5.

Another group of survey respondents involved heavily with supply tasks are members of the Tool Crib and Bench Stock Personnel cluster (GRP177). Over one-half of the duty time of these incumbents is spent Performing Supply Functions (Duty F) tasks. Members of this group are more involved with issuing or receiving tools and performing inventory checks on tool crib equipment and bench stock items. Respondents in this group have low job interest, and low perceptions of the utilization of their talents and their training. Forty-two percent of the group members indicate they will probably or definitely reenlist which is about average for this specialty. There is a relatively large percentage (15 percent) of women in the Tool Crib/Bench Stock cluster. The average grade for cluster members is 4.0, with 26 percent indicating they supervise personnel.
For Aircraft Maintenance personnel in the 780 Equipment Specialists cluster (6RP062) more of their duty time (37 percent) is involved with Maintaining 780 Equipment (Duty P) tasks than tasks from any other job inventory duty. Within this cluster 32 percent of the incumbents report being supervisors, although the averaqe grade for members is 4.1. Job interest, perceptions of talent utilizat on and training utilization, as well as, reenlistment intentions for survey respondents in this cluster are well below average.
Among job incumbents in the Documentation and Debriefing Specialists cluster (GRP055) there is a disparate proportion of females, 13 percent. This groups' job incumbents are connected, albeit loosely, by the large amount of their duty time, 51 percent, spent on Maintaining Forms and Records (Duty E) tasks. A single task. Review Aircraft Records or Maintenance (C17), accounts for an average of nine percent of the duty time of group members. The mean grade for personnel in this cluster is 4.9 with only 15 percent reporting they perform as supervisors. Responses to the items related to job interest, utilization of talents, and expressed reenlistment intentions are 1n the average r^nge for this specialty. Perceived utilization training 1s much lowtr than average for this specialty, with only 60 percent of the members of this cluster as opposed to 79 percent of the total sample, indicating their job utilizes their training fairly well to perfectly.
Training Personnel (GRP043) on the average spend one-half of their duty time on Training (Duty D) tasks. In spite of this large amount of overlap in duty time spent on training tasks, however, there are two different types of jobs performed by cluster members. One group of Incumbents are resident course instructors and the others are performing tasks related to unit level training and the OJT program. Only 21 percent of the members of this group directly supervise personnel.
13
4 "
Their mean grade is 5.3. Although job interest, reenlistment intentions, and perceptions of the utilization of their talents are all above average, as a group their responses indicate below average perceptions of the utilization of their training.
A substantial portion (23 percent) of the duty time of the Technical Order Specialists (GRP031) is taken up by only two tasks, E35, Maintain Technical Publications Files and A16, Establish Technical Order (TO) publications files. This cluster has the largest percentage (20 percent) of women of any job group in this survey. For incumbents in the cluster responses to the background items dealing with job interest, the utilization of their talents, the utilization of their training, and reenlistment intentions are all below average for the Aircraft Maintenance specialty. The mean grade for this cluster's members is 4.9 and 24 percent report being supervisors.
General Aircraft Maintenance
The third major division in Figure 1 contains the 16 job groups to the right of the diagram. Job incumbents in these groups work directly on aircraft, supervise maintenance or perform quality control checks on maintenance performed.
Survey respondents in the Flight Chiefs and Shift Supervisors cluster (GRP678) are primarily supervisor-technicians. Members cf this cluster spend 39 percent of their time on supervisory tasks related to Organizing and Planning, (Duty A), Directing and Implementing (Duty B), Evaluating and Inspecting (Duty C), and Training (Duty D), as compared to 65 percent time spent on tasks from the same four duties for members of the Staff Level and Maintenance Support Supervisors cluster (GRP083). Conversely, members of the Flight Chiefs and Shift Supervisors cluster on the average spend a combined 21 percent of their time on Performing General Aircraft maintenance (Duty G) tasks and Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H). Tasks from the same two duties account for an average of only six percent of the duty time of incumbents in the Staff Level and Maintenance Support Supervisors cluster (GRP083). Members of the Flight Chiefs and Shift Supervisors cluster (GRP678) have the highest average grade (6.5) and highest percent supervising (94 percent) of any group in this section. Job interest, and perceived utilization of talents and training are all ytry high. Although, 52 percent of the cluster members are eligible to retire at the end of their current enlistment, 70 percent of them Indicate they will definitely or probably reenllst.
Survey respondents In the Flight Line Expedite and Transient Alert Supervisors cluster (GRP370) on the average spend 22 percent of their
14
time on tasks from the supervisory duties (Organizing and Planning, [Duty A] seven percent; Directing and Implementing [Duty B] eight percent; Inspecting and Evaluating [Duty C], five percent; and Training [Duty D] two percent). In addition, job incumbents in this group spend 25 percent of their time Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H) tasks and 15 percent on General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G) tasks. Seventy per- cent of the group members report being supervisors. The average grade is 5.4. Job satisfaction, perception of the utilization of their talents and training are above average for the specialty. Reenlistment intentions are considerably above average for the specialty with 82 percent reporting will probably or definitely reenlist. There are 41 aircraft worked on by at least 10 percent of the cluster members. This is a good indicator of the breadth of the job performed.
The largest single cluster in the Aircraft Maintenance career ladder is Crew Chiefs (GRP490). Incumbents in this group constitute 46 percent of the survey sample. Although together in a single cluster in Figure 1 and Table 3 members are further divided into six smaller clusters in Appendix A. These division are mostly dependent on the command of assignment, time on active duty, and specific aircraft worked on rather than shredout. There is a large core of tasks performed by very high percentages of the incumbents in the cluster. In fact, there are 68 tasks performed by 75 percent or more of the survey respondents in the Crew Chiefs cluster (GRP490) irrespective of shredout, MAJCOM, time on active duty or aircraft worked on.
In general, Crew Chiefs spend 50 percent of their duty time as follows: Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G) tasks, 21 percent; Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Dutv H) tasks, 19 percent; and Maintaining Landing Gear System (Duty I) tasks, 10 per- cent. The remaining 50 percent of their duty time is distributed over a wide variety of tasks from the remaining 20 duties in the job inventories. The average grade among members of the Crew Chief cluster is 4.1 and 35 percent Indicate being supervisors. As would be expected due to the large number of Incumbents in this cluster, responses to Hems dealing with job interest, reenlistment Intentions and perceived utilization of talents, are all within one percentage point of the average values for members of the Aircraft Maintenance specialty. Perceived utilization of training, though, is higher thai, average for the specialty, with 86 per- cent reporting they feel their training Is being utilized from "fairly well" to "perfectly".
For incumbents in the Isochronal Inspection Specialists job type group (GRP690) most of their time Is spent on "Inspect. . .," "Remove or Replace . . ."or "Operationally Check ..." tasks from Duty G (Performing General
15
I
Aircraft Maintenance), Duty I (Maintaining Landing Gear Systems), Duty M (Maintaining Electrical Tasks) or Duty L (Maintaining Pneudraulic Systems). Sixty-seven percent of the cluster members indicated performing isochronal inspections in the background section of the job inventory. Smaller percentages of group members perform a variety of other inspections. Members of this group have an average grade of 3.8. Relatively few (23 percent) of the respondents in this job type group are supervisors. This is another group with a larger percentage (13 percent) of women than a random selection of AFS 431XIX personnel with the same amount of service would yeild. Job interest, perceived utilization of talents and reenlistment intentions are all below career field averages. Perceived utilization of training, though, is above average. Most of this group's members (72 percent) are assigned to MAC. The aircraft worked on by the largest percentages of this group of incumbents are: C-5 (33 percent); C-141 (31 percent); C-130E (18 percent); T-39 (10 percent)
Incumbents in the Flight Line Inspection Specialists cluster (GRP608) on the average perform more tasks, 591, than any other group of incumbents in this survey. The group with the second largest average number of tasks performed does 316. Members of the Flight Line Inspection Specialists cluster have jobs of considerable breadth. In fact, there are 241 tasks performed by more than 75 percent of the cluster members. As a result, survey respondents in this cluster perform tasks from many duties with tasks from the most time-consuming duty, (Performing General Aircraft Maintenance [Duty G]), accounting for only 16 percent of their time. Eleven percent of the group members' time is taken by tasks from both Duty H (Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft) and Duty I (Maintaining Landing Gear Systems). The tasks performed appear quite similar to those performed by incumbents in the Crew Chief cluster, but a great many additional tasks are also performed.
Although supervisory tasks take only eight percent of the cluster members' time, 43 percent report being supervisors. The average grade 1s 4.6. Job Interest for survey respondents in this cluster is a little above average; however, perceived utilization of talents, perceived utilization of training and reenlistment intentions are all well above average. There are eleven aircraft worked on by 10 percent or more of the group members including the F-4E (27 percent), KC-135 (18 percent), C-130E (15 percent), B-52G (11 percent), and T-38 (10 percent).
As the cluster title indicates, most (70 percent) of the survey respondents in the Phase Dock Inspection Specialists cluster (GRP481) report performing phase inspections. In addition, 80 percent indicate being assigned to a dock Inspection function. The distribution of time spent on tasks from job inventory duties include: Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G) tasks, 24 percent; Performing Ground
16
Handling of Aircraft (Duty H) tasks, 18 percent; and Maintaining Landing Gear Systems (Duty I) tasks, 15 percent. Cluster members have a relatively low average grade of 3.6. As would be expected of a low grade level group, only 22 percent of the group report being supervisors. Perceptions of the utilization of their talents and their training are slightly below average for Aircraft Maintenance personnel. Relative to job interest their responses are 11 percent lower than the career field average, 61 percent vs 72 percent indicating they find their jobs from fairly interesting to extremely interesting. The percentage of this cluster who reported they would probably or definitely reenlist is 17 percent below the average for the specialty. Finally, the aircraft worked on by ten percent or more of the cluster members are: T-38 (25 percent), F-4E (19 percent); F-4C (18 percent); T-37 (18 percent); F-4D (13 percent); KC-135 (12 percent); and A-7D (10 percent).
Members of the Engine Inspection Specialists cluster, GRP415, are all assigned to SAC and 96 percent have the E shredout. This group of incumbents spends over one-third (37 percent) of their duty time on Performing General Engine Maintenance (Üuty Q) tasks. This is an unusually large amount of time on engine related tasks compared to members of the specialty as a whole. The average grade for cluster members is 3.9 and only 25 percent report supervising other personnel. While job interest and reenlistment intentions are within one percentage point of average for personnel in this specialty, perceived utilization of talents and perceived utilization of training are 19 percent and nine percent above average, respectively. Those aircraft worked by 10 percent or more of the cluster are: KC-135 (64 percent); B-52G (30 percent); B-52H (23 percent); and B-52F (11 percent).
Survey respondents in the Transient Alert Specialists cluster (GRP199), on the average spend more time (40 percent) on Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H) tasks than members of any other job cluster or job type group. Job Incumbents in this cluster have a low average paygrade, 3.5, and only 15 percent report being supervisors. Among members of this cluster job Interest, perceived utilization of talents, perceived utilization of training, and reenllsmtent Intentions are all below average by nine to 20 percent. As would be expected, survey respondents In this cluster report working on a wide variety of aircraft. At least 10 percent of the group members indicate working on twenty-seven aircraft including but NOT limited to the following: KC-135 (35 per- cent); C-141 (23 percent}! F-4E (19 percent); C-130E (17 percent); C-9 (16 percent); C-118 (13 percent); and CH-53 (10 percent).

Job incumbents in the Quality Control Technicians cluster (6RP193) perform a diverse group of inspection and evaluation tasks. These tasks are distributed across many of the job inventory duties in such a way that there is littl? concentration of time spent on tasks from any single duty. Of the top 100 most time-consuming tasks performed by members of this group 89 are "Inspect . . ."or "Evaluate ..." tasks. These 89 tasks come from 12 duties. Group members have one of the highest average paygrades 6.1 and 40 percent supervise personnel. Job satisfaction, perceived utilization of their talent and their training, as well as, reenlistment intentions are considerably above average.
The Recovery, Refurbishing, Corrosion Control and Tanker Phase Personnel cluster, (GRP111), is a loose aggregation of job incumbents connected by the large amount of time (39 percent) they spend Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G) tasks. This is the highest average amount of time spent on Duty G tasks of any job group reported. Group members are assigned to an assortment of duty positions, such as, Recovery, Reburbishing, Phase Dock, Interior Crew, Wash and Lube, Corrosion Control and Tanker Inspection. As a result of the diversity of position there are numerous tasks which are performed by less than 50 percent of the group members which apply only to members of job type groups within the cluster. Only 16 percent of the cluster members are supervisors and the average grade is only 3.6. Job interest, perceived utilization of talents, perceived utilization of training, and reenlistment intentions for this group of survey respondents are all below average for this specialty.
For survey respondents in the Repair and Reclamation Specialists cluster (GRP273) the most distinguishing characteristic is that on the average they spend 22 percent of their time on Maintaining Flight Control Systems (Duty K) tasks. Members of this group spend more time on Duty K tasks than members of any other group. Cluster members also spend 19 percent of their time on both Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G) tasks, and Maintaining Landing Gear Systems (Duty I) tasks. Despite the relatively low average paygrade (4.1), 38 percent of the group members report being supervisors. Job Interest, perceived utilization of talents, perceived utilization of training, and reenlistment intentions are all above average for survey respondents in this specialty. There are nine aircraft worked on by at least 10 percent of group members: C-141 (29 percent); KC-135 (24 percent); C-5 (18 percent); B-52F (16 percent); C-130E (15 percent); C-135 (IS percent); T-39 (14 percent); F-4E (12 percent); and F-4C (11 percent).

COMPARISON OF AFM 39-1 SPECIALTY DESCRIPTIONS WITH OCCUPATIONAL SURVEY DATA
The AFM 39-1 Specialty Descriptions for AFS 431XIX were reviewed to determine if the descriptions covered tasks performed by DAFSC 431XIX survey respondents. The AFM 39-1 descriptions are written in broad terms which provide good general coverage for most du* es and tasks.
However, in paragraph "c" of the duties and responsibilities section for AFSC 43151 a considerable amount of emphasis is placed on target maintenance. The percentage of 5-skill level incumbents performing tasks related to this area does rot support such emphasis:

U33 PERFORM MAINTENANCE PREFLIGHT INSPECTIONS OF TOW TARGET SYSTEMS

ANALYSIS OF SKILL LEVEL GROUPS
In this section of the report descriptions of how job time is spent and examples of tasks performed will be presented for the 5- and 7-skill level personnel with each shredout. Also, combined data for 5-, 7- and 9-skill level job incumbents will be covered.
In the following discussion many references will be made tö the amount of time various groups of job incumbents spend on tasks from duties in the job inventory booklet used to collect data for this survey. An important point is that tasks from five duties: Maintaining Turbo-Propeller Engines (Duty S); Maintaining Turbo-Jet Engines (Duty T); Maintaining Tow Targets (Duty V); and Maintaining Inflight Refueling (IFR) Systems (Duty W) do not account for more than one-half of one percent „f the duty time of any group of job incumbent defined by skill level and shredout (See Table 4).
A-Shredout (Reciprocating Engine Aircraft)
Among DAFSC 43151A personnel surveyed 58 percent of their job time is taken up by tasks from five duties: Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H), 17 percent; Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G), 16 percent; Maintaining Landing Gear Systems (Duty I), 11 percent; Maintaining Electrical Systems (Duty M), seven percent; and Maintaining Nonpowered Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) (Duty 0), seven percent.
In addition, as shown in Table 4 DAFSC 43151A personnel are the only group of 5-skill level incumbents who spend any appreciable amount of time on tasks dealing with Maintaining Reciprocating Engines, Duty R. While the three percent time spent on these tasks is small, that percentage amounts to at least three times more than the average percent time spent on those tasks by any other 5-sklll level group. Interestingly, DAFSC 43151A job incumbents spend nearly twice as much time (seven percent) on AGE Maintenance (Duty 0) tasks than 5-skill level job incumbents with any of the other three shredouts. Table 5 lists the tasks performed by the largest percentages of 5-skill level A shredout survey respondents.
As is frequently seen with 7-skill level Incumbents, DAFSC 43171A personnel spend their job time on a mixture of tasks some of which are supervisory and some of which are technical. The distribution of time spent on tasks from the supervisory duties Is: Organizing and Planning (Duty A), 13 percent; Directing and Implementing (Duty B), 11 percent; Inspecting and Evaluating (Duty C), six percent; and Training (Duty D), two percent time spent. The total of tine spent on tasks from these duties is 32 percent.

\
.
In addition to the clearly supervisory duties mentioned immediately above Maintaining Forms and Records (Duty E) tasks also tend to take more duty time for job incumbents as skill level increases. For DAFSC 43171A personnel 12 percent of their time is spent on Duty E tasks. This is the largest amount for any skill level group in any of the shredouts and is slightly more than the amount of time spent on Duty E tasks by DAFSC 43191 survey respondents.
The technical (non-supervisory) duties containing tasks which accounted for the largest amounts of the duty time of 7-skill level A-shred survey respondents are: Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty 6), 11 percent; Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H), 10 percent and Maintaining Landing Gear Systems (Duty I), seven percent. As was seen above with DAFSC 43151A incumbents, 7-skill level personnel with the A shred also spend three percent of their job time on Maintaining Reciprocating Engines (Duty R) tasks. Again this amounts tc at least three times more time spent on the same tasks by 7-skill level respondents with the Cf E, or F shredout. Table 6 gives a listing of tasks performed by large percentages of DAFSC 43171A personnel.
Table 7 details the task performance differences in percentages between DAFSC 43151A job incumbents and DAFSC 43171A job incumbents. The tasks in this table ire a partial, representative listings of the tasks which show the greatest differences between 7- and 5-skill level Aircraft Maintenance incumbents with the A shredout. As is typically seen, more 5-skill level respondents perform technical tasks and more 7-skill level respondents perforr supervisory tasks. Also» the differences in percent members performing are greater on those tasks done by more 7-skill level survey respondents. This indicates that 7-skill level incumbents are more apt to be performing some of the technical tasks accomplished by 5-skill level respondents as well as performing supervisory tasi-.s.

L Shredout (Jet Aircraft One and Two Engines)
In terms of percent time spent performing tasks from the job inventory duties, the most time-consuming duties for DAFSC 43151C personnel as shown in Table 4 are: Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H), 19 percent; Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G), 18 percent; and Maintaining Landing Gear Systems (Duty I), 11 percent. The remaining 52 percent ' duty time is distributed across the other duties in no specific pattern or in any way that would clearly differentiate DAFSC 43151C personnel from 5-skill level survey respondents with the other three shredouts. A listing of tasks performed by large percentages of 43151C personnel is displayed in Table 8.
Thirty-six percent of the duty time of 7-skill level survey respondents having a C shred is spent on tasks from the four supervisory duties as follows: Organizing and Planning (Duty A), 14 percent; Directing and Implementing (Duty B), 12 percent; Inspecting and Evaluating (Duty C), seven percent; and Training (Duty D), three percent. Overall, supervisory Lasks take a little more than one-third (36 percent) of the duty time of this group Af incumbents. Another 10 percent of the groups duty time is involved in Maintaining Forms and Records (Duty E) tasks.
Slightly less than one-third (32 percent) of the duty time of DAFSC 43171C personnel is taken by tasks from three other duties: Per- forming General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G), 11 percent; Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H), 11 percent; and Maintaining Forms and Records, 10 percent. The remaining duty time is spread out among tasks from the other sixteen duties in the job inventory. None of these duties accounts for more than seven percent of time spent.
Table 9 lists the twenty tasks performed by the largest percentages of DAFSC 43171C survey respondents.
Concerning task performance differences between 5- and 7-skill level aircraft maintenance with a C shredout. Table 10 contrasts tasks performed by 5-skill level and 7-skill level incumbents. As seen earlier, larger percentages of 5-skill level personnel perform technical tasks and more 7-skill level respondents perform supervisory tasks. The percentage of 7-skill level personnel performing technical tasks is higher than the percentage of 5-skill level personnel accomplishing supervisory tasks.

£ Shredout (Jet Aircraft Over Two Engines)
DAFSC 43151E survey respondents indicate spending 45 percent of their duty time on tasks from three duties: Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G), 20 percent; Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft, (Duty H), 16 percent; and Maintaining Landing Gear Systems (Duty I), nine percent. The remainder of the duty time of this group of incumbents is taken up by tasks from twenty other duties none of which account for more than six percent of time spent (See Table 4). Those job inventory tasks performed by substantial percentages of 5-skill level E shred job incumbents are listed in Table 11.
For 7-skill level aircraft maintenance personnel with the E shredout the distribution of job time is 35 percent on supervisory tasks and 65 percent on technical tasks. As shown in Table 4, tasks related to Organizing and Planning (Duty A), Directing and Implementing (Duty B), Inspecting and Evaluating (Duty C), and Training (Duty D), account for 13 percent, 12 percent, seven percent, and four percent time spent, respectively. For DAFSC 43171C personnel surveyed the tasks related to Maintaining Forms and Records (Duty E), account for 10 percent of their time. The time spent on tasks from technical duties shows the usual emphasis on Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G), 12 percent; Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H), nine percent; and Maintaining Landing Gear Systems (Duty I), six percent. As shown in Table 4, the remaining 38 percent of duty time for DAFSC 43171E job incumbents is scattered among tasks from the remaining sixteen duties. Examples of tasks performed by this group of incumbents are shown in Table 12.
Comparisons in percent members performing tasks between DAFSC 43151E personnel and DAFSC 43171E personnel are highlighted in Table 13. The tasks shown are a limited sample of a much longer list. Once again the usual pattern of technical task performance among 5-skill level incumbents and supervisory task performance among 7-skill level personnel are the key delineators. Also as pointed out previously, more 7-skill level Incumbents perform tasks done by many 5-skill level personnel but few 5-skill level incumbents perform tasks accomplished by substantial percentages of 7-skill level personnel.

F Shredout (Turbo-Propeller Aircraft)
DAFSC 43151F survey respondents spend about the same amount of time (21 percent) Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G), tasks as 5-skill level job incumbents with any of the other three shredouts. However, this group of survey respondents indicated spending less time (13 percent and eight percent, respectively) on Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H) tasks and on Maintaining Landing Gear Systems (Duty I) tasks. Overall, tasks fror the three duties taken together account for roughly the same amount of time for 5-skill level F shred job incumbents as for other 5-skill level Aircraft Maintenance personnel. The tasks performed by large percentages of DAFSC 43151F survey respondents are listed in Table 14. Among that group of tasks, Operationally Check Cargo Ramps (G49), Is performed by 69 percent of the F shred 5-skill level personnel but no more than 20 percent of the 5-skill level personnel in any of the other three shreds.
The distribution of time spent on tasks from job inventory duties for DAFSC 43171F job incumbents shown in Table 4 is quite similar to the distribution found for 7-skill level survey respondents with the other three shredouts. DAFSC 43171F personnel reported spending their time on supervisory ta<ks as follows: Organizing and Planning (Duty A), 14 percent; Directing and Implementing (Duty B), 12 percent; Inspecting and Evaluating (Duty C), seven percent; and Training (Duty D), four f. .rcent, In addition to the 37 percent time spent on tasks from the four supervisory duties listed above, nine percent of the duty time of the F shred 7-skill level survey respondent is spent on Maintaining Forms and Records (Duty £), tasks. The remaining duty time of this group of incumbents is spent on tasks from the technically oriented duties. The most time-consuming technical duties are: Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G), 13 percent time spent; Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H), nine percent time spent; and Maintaining Landing Gear Systems (Duty I), five percent time spent. Table 15 lists the tasks performed by the largest percentages of DAFSC 43171F survey respondents.
The results of comparisons of tasks performed by DAFSC 43151F personnel and DAFSC 43171F are shown in Table 16. As is generally seen, larger percentages of 5-skill level respondents accomplish technical tasks and supervisory tasks are performed by larger percentages of 7-skill level incumbents.

9-Ski!1 Level Personnel
The primary emphasis in tasks performed by DAFSC 43191 personnel is clearly and predominantly supervisory and administrative. Tasks from five duties account for 76 percent of their duty time. Time spent on tasks from these duties breaks down as follows: Organizing and Planning (Duty A), 23 percent; Directing and Implementing (Duty B), 23 percent; Inspecting and Evaluating (Duty C), 14 percent; Maintaining Forms and Records (Duty E), 11 percent; and Training (Duty D), five percent. As shown in Table 17, all of the tasks performed by the largest percentages of DAFSC 43191 personnel are supervisory.
The preponderance of supervisory task performance for aircraft maintenance superintendents is further shown in Table 18 which displays those tasks that most clearly differentiate between the 7- and 9-skill level personnel in the Aircraft Maintenance specialty. Table 18 shows that substantial percentages of 7-skill level incumbents perform some technical tasks but very few 9-skill level respondents perform those same tasks. Also, there a»: supervisory tasks performed by large percentages of 9-skill level personnel which are different from the supervisory tasks accomplished by 7-skill level incumbents.

COMPARISONS OF TASK PERFORMANCE DATA ACROSS SHREDOUTS
An important question in the Aircraft Maintenance specialty is: How similar are the tasks performed by incumbents with different shredouts? In this section similarities and differences in tasks per- formed by 5-skill level personnel in each of the four shredouts will be discussed.
In most Air Force specialities including Aircraft Maintenance 5-skill level job incumbents perform the largest number of technical tasks. For that reason comparisons and contrasts in this section will be made among all DAFSC 43151X personnel together, as well as subsets defined by the A, C, E, or F shredouts.
With respect to tasks performed by substantial percentages of 5-skill level Aircraft Maintenance personnel regardless of shredout, occupational survey data show 72 tasks performed by 50 percent or more. Most of these tasks are from one of the four following duties: Performing General Aircraft Maintenance (Duty G); Performing Ground Handling of Aircraft (Duty H); Maintaining Landing Gear Systems, (Duty I) or Maintaining Forms and Records, (Duty E). Table 19 lists the twenty five tasks performed by the greatest percentages of DAFSC 43151X personnel.
As the list in Table 19 shows there is definitely a core of commonly performed tasks independent of shredout among 5-skill level incumbents. These are general aircraft maintenance tasks with applicability to a wide variety of aircraft. That is not to 3ay there are no differences in how any given tasks are performed on various aircraft. Rather these are tasks performed by large percentages of 5-skill level aircraft maintenance personnel, the exact performance of which is determined by type of aircraft, the maintenance environment and command procedures.
Accepting that there are many similarities in task performance among 5-skill level incumbents with the four shredouts, there must obviously be some dissimilarities. To identify variations all 5-skill level members of one shredout were compared with all 5-sk1U level members of the other three shredouts. For example. Table 20 compares DAFSC 43151A survey repsondents with DAFSC 43151C/E/F survey respondents. As would be expected most of the tasks which differentiate A shred 5-sk1U level personnel from non-A shred 5-skill level personnel deal with Maintaining Reciprocating Engines (Duty R).
Interestingly though, time spent figures on those tasks performed by 25 percent more of the DAFSC 43151A incumbents compared with the time spent on the same tasks by non-A shred 5-skill level personnel are 3.41 percent vs .67 percent, respectively.
41
As the tasks in Table 20 show, larger percentages of C-shred 5-skill level respondents are performing tasks related to landing gear arresting hooks, tail hooks, ejection systems, and afterburners. These tasks relate to high performance aircraft such as the F-4 and F-15. However, again using the time spent on differentiation tasks comparison the differences are not very large. That is, those tasks performed by at least 25 percent more of the C shred 5-skill level personnel account for 9.30 percent of their duty time. The same tasks take up 2.85 percent of the duty time of DAFSC 43151A/E/F survey respondents.
For E-shred 5-skill level incumbents the tasks which are performed by at least 25 percent or more of them compared to non-E shred 5-skill level personnel required only 1.1 percent of their time. The same tasks take up only .27 percent of the time of 5-skill level respondents with an A, C, or F snredout. The differentiating tasks as listed in Table 21 deal mostly with aircraft ~elief facilities, crewmember seats and seat belts and explosive cartridges (starters).
When comparing DAFSC 43151F personnel with DAFSC 43151A/C/E personnel, the differentiating tasks deal mostly with working on troop seats, crewmembers seats or life rafts. The tasks performed by at least 25 percent of the F-shred 5-skill level personnel take up 10.04 percent of their duty time versus 3.43 percent of the time of non-F shred 5-skill level incumbents.
Overall, the similarities in task performance across shredouts are considerably greater than the differences.

ANALYSIS OF ACTIVE FEDERAL MILITARY SERVICE (AFMS) GROUPS
This section of the report contains a general look at how the jobs of Aircraft Maintenance personnel change as the amount of time on active duty increases. Survey respondents are grouped by number of months of Active Federal Military Service (AFMS) regardless of skill level, shredout, background variables or specific task performance data. Tdble 24 summarizes how duty time is spent by job incumbents with different amounts of time on active duty.
The data shown in Table 24 are quite similar to the findings for personnel grouped by skill level. In general, as time on active duty increases, the amount of time spent on tasks related to Organizing and Planning (Duty A), Directing and Implementing (Duty B), Inspecting and Evaluating (Duty C), Training (Duty D), and Maintaining Forms and Records (Duty E) increases. Contemporaneously, less time 1s spent on technical tasks from the remaining job inventory duties.
Overall, the pattern of time spent for DAFSC 431X1A/C/E/F personnel with varying amounts of time on actived duty 1s very similar to the patterns of most Air Force specialities.

COMPARISONS OF TASK PERFORMANCE DATA FOR CONUS AND OVERSEAS PERSONNEL
In this section task performance data for 5-skill level job incumbents stationed in CONUS and those stationed overseas were compared within shredouts. The purpose of these comparisons is to identify any important variations in task performance within this specialty which are dependent on location (CONUS vs overseas). A cutoff of 25 percent has been used throughout this section; that is, the only tasks discussed are those for which the difference in percent members performing between CONUS and overseas 5-skill level personnel is at least 25 percent. Tasks preceded by a minus (-) sign are performed by larger percentages of overseas personnel.
Overall, few differences were found other than for A shred job incumbents. The comparison for DAFSC 43151A personnel showed thirty- two tasks with differences of 25 percent or more members performing. As shown in Table 25, there are 11 tasks done by at least 25 percent or more of the CONUS DAFSC 43151A survey respondents and 21 tasks done by at least 25 percent more of the overseas DAFSC 43151A survey respondents. A close look at the tasks performed by larger percentaqes of overseas A shred respondents (See Table 25) reveals tasks which are characteristic of transient alert functions. The obvious possibility is that A shred personnel are more apt to be assigned to transient alert positions overseas. There is no clear pattern in the tasks performed by larger percentages of CONUS DAFSC 43151A personnel.
Tables 26 and 21 depict the CONUS vs overseas comparisons for 5-skill level job incumbents with a C or E shredout. Each of the tables has only three task*. There is no table for DAFSC 43151F personnel, as there is only one task, Moor Aircraft By Tying Down, Task H27, for which the difference in percent members performing is at Jeast 25 percent. Fifty- eight percent of the 5-skill level F shred personnel CONUS perform that task compared with 33 percent of the overseas 5-skill level F shred personnel.
In summary, the differences in task performance among CONUS and overseas DAFSC 43151 personnel in the four shredout group appear to be minimal and seem to have little impact on the field.

MALE AND FEMALE JOB GROUP ASSIGNMENT COMPARISONS
Due to the limited number of female personnel in the survey sample for this specialty, direct comparisons of male and female job incumbent:. by skill level and shredout groupings would be statistically unreliable For example, a computerized task performance comparison for DAFSC 43151F survey respondents matches 268 males with only 14 females. Such uneven group sizes can result in faulty conclusions.
On the other hand, some important trends did show up in terms of positions to which female DAFSC 431XIX job incumbents are assigned. There were job groups identified in the Career Ladder Structure Section of this report in which the percentages of female aircraft maintenance personnel Bra either much higher or much lower than overall percentages in the specialty, controlling for average time on active duty for group members. Table 28 shows those job groups in which the percentages of women is disproportionately high.
The opposite end of the question of distribution of males and females within the Aircraft Maintenance specialty is whether or not there are jobs from which women are systematically excluded. The data do not show any such exclusion. While some job groups have no females, the relative percentage of females in the specialty with the same average amount of time on activity duty as members of these groups is so low as to make zero percent within the acceptable limits of variance. This is particularly true among supervisors and quality control personnel for whom the average number of months AFMS exceeds 125. Females constitute only .3 percent of aircraft maintenance personnel with that amount of active duty.

(ASK DIFFICULTY
From a listing of airmen identified for the aircraft maintenance occupational survey, incumbents with a 7- or 9-skill level frcm various commands and locations were selected for rating task difficulty. Tasfcf w°re rated on a nine-point scale from very-much-below average to very-much- above average difficulty, with difficulty defined as the length of time required by an average incumbent to learn to do the task. Interrater agreement among the 72 raters, was .97. Ratings were adjusted so that tasks of average difficulty have ratings of 5.00.
Samples of task difficulty data are listed in Tables 29 and 30. These tables show the twenty tasks at the high and low ends of the task difficulty range which were performed by at least 25 percent of the survey sample. These tables list only a fraction of the tasks performed but do show a typical trend; namely, more supervisory tasks are rated in the high difficulty range and commonly performed technical tasks are rated in the low difficulty range. Complete listings of task difficulty indexes are available 1n both descending order from most to least difficult and in the task order found in the AFS 431X1A/C/E/F job inventory booklets.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In the background section of the job inventory used to collect data for this survey, there are a number of questions which ask respondents how they feel about their job, the utilization of their talents and training and what their plans are concerning reenlistment. Looking at this information gives a good perspective on the feelings members of the specialty have about the work they do.
Table 31 summarizes selected background data on first enlistment job incumbents in AFS 431XIX and the combined responses of a sample of first term personnel in other specialties surveyed during 1976. Overall, job interest among first enlistment Aircraft Maintenance personnel is slightly lower than for the 1976 combined first enlistment group with 61 percent and 65 percent, respectively, findi?*g their job interesting. Among all AFS 431XIX survey respondents with 1-4& months AFMS, those with the A shredout are slightly lower in positive perceptions; 58 percent indicate finding their job interesting. Another consideration for first term A-shred personnel is that nine percent more than the average for first enlistment survey respondents in this specialty report finding their job dull.
As with job Interest, positive perceptions of the utilization of talents among first enlistment Aircraft Maintenance personnel is slightly lower than found among the 1976 first term comparison group; 68 percent vs 71 percent feel their talents are being utilized at least fairly well. A shredout job incumbents with 1-48 months AFMS have the lowest perceptions of the utilization of their talents of any first enlistment shredout group. Sixty-three percent of the A shredout group indicate feeling their talents are being utilized at least fairly well compared to 68 percent for all first term Aircraft Maintenance survey respondents.
Utilization of training responses show the same trends seen in the two previous background Information Hems. Namely, perceptions of the utilization of their training among Aircraft Maintenance survey respondents with 1-48 months AFMS are lower than for members of the combined sample of first enlistment personnel surveyed 1n 1976. More specifically, 73 percent of the first term AFS 431XIX job Incumbents and 79 percent of the comparison group reported feeling their training 1s used fairly well or better. Once again within the total sample of first term Aircraft Maintenance personnel, A shredout Incumbents had the least favorable perceptions of the utilization of their training with only 63 percent 1n the fairly well or better categories.
59 i t* *
Relative to reenlistment intentions, first term AFS 431XIX job incumbents have the same amount, 43 percent, indicating they will definitely or probably reenlist as the 1976 first term comparison group. Variations in reenlistment intentions across :** fetouts among aircraft maintenance personnel with 1-48 months AFMS are minimal.
As show in Table 32 the response patterns to the background items on job interest, utilization of talents, utilization of training and reelistment intentions among career (49-240+ months AFMS) Aircraft Maintenance survey respondents are generally a continuation cf the trend: seen for first enlistment job incumbents in this specialty with an important exception. Namely, when all DAFSC 431XIX personnel in their second or later enlistment are compared to a combined group of career (49-240+ months AFMS) job incumbents in other specialties surveyed during 1976, Aircraft Maintenance personnel have on the average slightly more positive responses.
However, among A shredout job incumbents with 49-240+ months AFMS in AFS 431XIX, only 64 percent indicate finding their job interesting compared to 81 percent for all career personnel in this specialty.
With respect to perceived utilization of talents, career A shredout personnel are again below average for career members of the specialty. Only 77 percent of tne A shredout incumbents with 49-240+ months AFMS compared to 87 percent of all AFS 431XIX incumbents with the same amount of time on active duty report feeling their talents are used at least fairly well.
Perceptions of the utilization of their training among career A shredout survey respondents are low in comparison to the total group of AFS 431XIX career personnel. Where 84 percent of the whole group of the career Aircraft Maintenance job incumbents report their training is being utilized fairly well or better, only 70 percent of the A shredout incumbents with 49-240+ months AFMS report feeling their talents are being utilized fairly well or better.
Overall, expressed reenlistment intentions for all career AFS 431X1X personnel, including A shredout incumbents, are slightly higher than found among the comparison group of career respondents surveyed during 1976.

p COMPARISON WITH EARLIER STUDY
In February 1969 an occupational survey (AFPT 90-431-210) of the Aircraft Maintenance specialty was published. The major findings of that study and the present one are essentially the same. That is, there is a large core of commonly performed tasks within this specialty which make the present configuration with four shredouts questionable. Data in both studies indicate that a single specialty without shreds would be consistent with task performance data.
COMPARISON OF OCCUPATIONAL SURVEY DATA WITH SPECIALTY TRAINING STANDARDS (STS) 431X1A, 431X1C, 431X1E AND 431X1F
With the aid of personnel from the technical training centers responsible for the Aircraft Maintenance resident training, STS paragraphs and subparagraphs were matched with job Inventory tasks. Percent members performing data on tasks and task difficulty Information was then compared with STSs. Overall, data show that the STSs for this specialty provide good coverage of the tasks performed by Incumbents 1n the field.
CONCLUSIONS
*
1. There is a large core of commonally performed tasks, regardless of an Incumbents shredout. This Is the same finding as in the 1970 occupational survey and suggests that the current structure within the specialty of having four shredouts 1s questionable.
2. By comparison to others In this specialty A shredout personnel report loner job satisfaction, perceptions of the utilization of their talents, and perceptions of the utilization of their training.
3. There are some jobs within this specialty in which there are a disproportionately large percentage of women. While there is no evidence that women are systematically excluded from specific types of tasks, this is a situation which needs to be monitored closely.
